   2 3/4 c  Flour

   Sprinkle yeast and sugar into 1/2 cup of the water. Do not stir. Let

   combine flour and table salt. Make a well in the center. Pour in
   yeast mixture and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir with wooden spoon or

   soft and slightly sticky. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface.
   Knead for 10 minutes, adding small spoonfuls of flour if necessary.
   Place in bowl and cover with plastic wrap or damp cloth. Let rise in
   warm place about 80-85 degrees until doubled for 1 hour. Turn onto
   lightly floured surface. Knead gently several times. Flatten to
   10-inch circle. Place on oiled baking stone, pizza pan or heavy
   cookie sheet. Press indentation with fingers to make "dimples."
   Loosely cover and let rise about 15 min., or until doubled in size.

   remaining 3 TBs olive oil and herbs until leaves are broken up and
   oil is fragrant. Pour over dough. Rub gently into surface. Sprinkle
   with kosher salt. Bake 15 minutes, reduce heat to 400 F. Bake 5
   minutes more, or till golden brown. Let cool and cut into wedges.
